An Ingenious Literary Performance.
Sometime ago our townsman, Owen
Hitchins received letter from r. Thomas,
Pontypool, Wales, containing the following
biblical acrostic. Mr.. Thomas is the son of
an old friend of Mr.. Hitchins, and it will be
seen that he is both scholastic in Scriptural
biography and genius in combining his
brief sketches into rhythmic rebuke of the
misuse of snuff, tobacco and all intoxicating
drinks" The acrostic has been published
but once before-in the Pontypool Free Press.
When the reader has gone through the
poem, let him read the initial letters of each
line from the top down:
1shmael and Hagar were driven from home.
Daniel and David prayed much when alone.
Eli was suddenly killed by a fall
Titus and Timothy preached with st. Paul

Publications.-Frank Leslie's Sunday
Magazine for February opens with Mr..
PowelPs Seventh Leaf from his most inter-
esting life, dealing with Charles Dickens So
cially, critically and anecdotically. Several
appropriate illustrations accompany the
article, including two portraits of Dickens at
different periods of his life. An article en-
titled 1.-THE Charitable Side of New York
Life is well illustrated, and gives many facts
concerning the numerous charities of the
great city. "Indian Babies will be found
very interesting, as are also the pictures that
go with the text. Babies are babies every
where. The reader may make an inexpensive
trip to the Islands of Jersey in the article of
that title, and the illustrations show the
chief points of interest ON the island. The
new story, "His Banner Over Me-" begins to
be exciting already, and there are many sh ort
articles and poems of merit The colored
engraving which accompanies the number
is gem of art. The whole number is, as
usual, full of fine pictures and a collection of
reading matter suited to the varying tastes of
every member of the family.

PUERILITIES.
Editor Of the LIGHT:

Editor Of the LIGHT:
An article In Tuesdays LIGHT using
the euphemism, Engage an Educator, 4"
instead Of Hiring Teacher" asks in
buncombc style sundry questions, art
fully catering TO vulgar prejudice against
the humble teacher Of elementary edu-
cation.
The writer dOrsn't seem to know that
education consists In much besides mere
technical book learning. Men are nu-
merOus whose minds are developed by
observation ard thought, without claim
TO high scholastic Attachments.
ANY one who doesn't know that there
is sweeping tendency to leave out in
the cold the common schools Of rural
districts, and to drive out teachers Of
merit from the humble profession Of
teaching the young idea, Is, perhaps, a
pitIful book worm without the practical
or general knowledge needed In these
days OF progress. The mere teacher OF
elementary learning is 50 condemned not
Orly In individual instances, which is
not the subject at issue In this matter,
that, as n rule, competent workers must
leave the public schools, and rely upon
the people in private enterprise. 1t Is
the cause and not men that claims at
tentiOn; thOugh il Is said that in some
cities large number of teachers en-
pOyed are uDarle to get a certificate Of
any grade. No ones real knowledge is
brought out by al examination.
